Vintage Sandwich Recipes

A good sandwich has never required much explanation, but the vintage recipes behind the best ones are worth knowing. These vintage sandwich recipes cover the full range of what home cooks were building across the decades: the spreadable classics that turned leftover proteins into something worth eating again, the stacked lunch counter staples that people ordered by name, and the party sandwiches that showed up on every entertaining spread for good reason. Simple to make, specific in technique, and nearly impossible to improve on.
